I have a ASUS A6KM (AMD64) laptop and what I have noticed is that if I don't plug in the AC adapter, HAL seems to work, and I don't get this message. I can also run commands such as lshal.
However when I plug in the AC adapter, or if I boot with the AC adapter, I'll get this message "Failed to Initialize HAL". If running lshal I get this: error: libhal_ctx_init: (null): (null) Could not initialise connection to hald. Normally this mean the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready. if I do ps -ax, this is the state of my hal processes: 4359 ? Ds 0:02 /usr/sbin/hald 4360 ? S 0:00 hald-runner 4366 ?
